Actually, No. It's an interesting article. Its insight by geneticists who see the human being in a much different way than most of us do. it's good food for thought. I mean, seeing how I have type O blood, I might be able to receive a blood transfusion from an African or native American possibly before a German who most likely be Type A... even though we are both white. so in that sense, who am I closer to?
"By analyzing the genes of present-day Africans, researchers have concluded that the Khoe-San, who now live in southern Africa, represent one of the oldest branches of the human family tree. The Pygmies of central Africa also have a very long history as a distinct group. What this means is that the deepest splits in the human family aren’t between what are usually thought of as different races—whites, say, or blacks or Asians or Native Americans. They’re between African populations such as the Khoe-San and the Pygmies, who spent tens of thousands of years separated from one another even before humans left Africa."
So according to this exerpt, the split between Some africans themselves is deeper than say someone from Denmark and someone from Nigeria ... seems kind of crazy but scientifically it may be correct.
